Detroit plays its fifth straight on the road after losing to the Cardinals, 11-4. Starter Tarik Skubal is 3-0 at home but has a losing road mark. His 2.37 ERA at home jumps to 3.07 on the road. For the season, he has 71 Ks in 54 innings, holding batters to a .219 average. The Tigers can't manufacture runs, ranked 29th in steals, which hurts away from home: they're 17-5 at home, 14-12 on the road. The St. Louis buzzsaw just keeps rolling, on a 17-6 run. The offense is seventh in runs scored, fourth in on-base percentage, and ninth in slugging. Batters are hitting just .228 off starter Erick Fedde (3.44 ERA). The defense is No. 1 in fielding percentage, on an 8-4 run UNDER the total. St. Louis is 16-6 at home, so back home field in a defensive duel. Play St. Louis + UNDER the total.
